I was on Iona and Marella explorer 2 and was ok - suppose it depends on who is manning the testing site entrance and how busy it is maybe.

I think we have got a good excuse to try and get away with say just 20 minutes earlier, a 5 hour drive down to Southampton - and Monday traffic.  Even though we are staying overnight near Southampton the night before, our address evidence may support 20 minutes leeway allowance.

When I arrived early it was not busy (they were actually waiting around to test people) and I was waved through to drive through testing - I am obviously happy to wait if required - but I thought it was worth a shot in case - I’ve no problem being turned away if necessary and drive somewhere scenic maybe and wait.

 

obviously doesn’t change boarding time - but at least that bit is out of the way.

 

best of luck
